When love starts to sink, some voices rise. In her latest single “Down,” rising neo-soul artist Nyah Grace lays bare the emotional toll of fractured romance, wrapping gospel-tinged grit and velvet harmonies around a story of heartbreak and hard-won clarity. Taken from her upcoming album Divinely Devoted, “Down” pairs rich vocals with retro flair, immersing listeners in a bold yet vulnerable journey of defiance and departure. The Maisie Dickinson-directed music video, set in a tension-filled 70s-inspired apartment, sees Nyah portraying the unraveling of a relationship, culminating in her silent decision to walk away, with dignity. Nyah shares:
Writing ‘Down’ was a cathartic experience for me. It let me release frustration and eventually accept the way I’d been treated.
The single has earned glowing support from BBC Introducing along with editorial nods from Billboard and Ones To Watch. Meanwhile, album opener Back Of The Cab offers a softer, confessional tone, capturing a vulnerable moment with an Uber driver after a teary-eyed night out. Both tracks follow the acclaimed lead single Only Mine,” which saw spins across BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra, 6 Music, and major streaming platforms. With “Divinely Devoted,” Nyah Grace cements herself as a modern torchbearer of soul, rooted in retro aesthetics but voiced through the lens of a new generation.
